A thug freed early from jail brutally attacked a taxi driver who demanded he pay his fare. Brandon Lundy smashed a bottle over the head of Samson Emmanuel leaving the victim blood-soaked last July 17.
The 22 year-old had earlier threatened to kill Samson and after striking him boasted: "See, I told you." The private hire driver was left with a horror wound near his left ear and needed surgery as well a vital blood transfusion.
Lundy - who had been released from prison after a previous violent crime - later called police to confess to the attack in Glasgow's Cranhill. He is now back behind bars after he pled guilty to assaulting Samson to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement and danger of his life.
Lundy will return to the dock next month. The High Court in Glasgow heard Samson went to a pick-up in Longstone Place, Cranhill around 5.20am on the morning of the attack.
Lundy got in the back and stated he wanted dropped off in Hillington in the southside of the city 10 miles away. Due to the distance, Samson asked for the fare upfront which got the thug annoyed.
The worried driver tried to calm Lundy down. Prosecutor Shanti Maguire said: "Lundy then shouted 'I am going to kill you' if he did not take him to Hillington."
Samson left his car and ordered Lundy to get out. The thug punched the cabbie in the face. Miss Maguire: "Samson Emmanuel put his hands up to protect himself and then ran off.
"Lundy picked up a glass bottle, went after him and then hit him around the head area causing it to break. He cut the driver's face and said: 'See, I told you'."
Lundy fled and, despite blood spurting from the injury, Samson managed to drive himself to hospital. Medics found he had a nasty slash wound on the left of his face.
